Trubisky wasn't even the best QB in his own conference (ACC) when he got drafted so everything else is null and void. When you build your argument around minimizing comparisons to Mahomes and Watson then you've already lost. I'm convinced that Trubisky fans are becoming a cult more concerned with defending a bum player than want what's best for the team itself..
So much is wrong with this article, the author says that Mitch is young and only 25 as an excuse for him being a bust. Mitch Trubisky has appeared in 39 NFL games and will eclipse 50 games next year if healthy. Let's stop the cudding. How is his youth an excuse? The only semi-excuse I can give him is that he left the NCAA too early but that's HIS FAULT.
Then the author points out the talent that Mahomes had around him, but that's negated by the fact that Trubisky has had a far superior defense to rely on. Mahomes took the Patriots to OT in the AFCCG with no defense whatsoever. You have to ook at the ENTIRE team, not just the receivers.
And why Goff and Trubisky comparisons when both players are holding back their teams? Goff's contract will destroy LA. Why would you want the Bears in that same conversation? On top of that, I'm confused in terms of the Goff and Trubisky comparison given the fact that Mitch at his peak was never as good as Goff in his peak. BOTH QBS are average but Goff when hot is better than Trubisky at his hottest. The ONLY comparison is that both QBs are/were overrated by their management/GMs. Even if you look at last season, his best games were clustered together. Before Week 12 against the Lions this year, Trubisky hadn't passed for 300 yards in a regular season game since WEEK 9 OF 2018 once again against the Lions. Let that marinate, then on top of that BOTH of those games were against Detroit.
Goff has surpassed 300 yards 18 times in his career to Mitch's 7. Where is the comparison?
Another difference is that Goff made it to the SB where he was exposed by the Patriots which tarnished his rep. Mitch Trubisky would have probably got exposed similarly in later playoff rounds had the Bears advanced further enough to a play a coach like Belichick/Sean Payton. Cody Parkey in some way actually shield Trubisky from exposure. This is the same Trubisky who lost 10-3 to the Packers in a regular season game, so what would he have done in the NFCCG or Super Bowl?
